"Madam President, I voted in favour of the regulation today. Credit default swaps can provide greater liquidity in our economy and, in certain cases, can also help to protect and safeguard us against loss. The problem is – as the financial crisis has shown very clearly – that they also contain problematic elements that have entailed a significant systemic risk for our economy, because speculation kicked off a negative spiral. What has been absolutely crucial today is the fact that we have taken a decision that can remedy the problem. We are injecting a degree of responsibility into credit default swaps by ensuring that there is an ownership element, such that buyers and sellers must have a certain relationship to the instrument that they are trading with. I think this is a very positive development and I have therefore voted in favour of the proposal."@en1
